Love the exploration of family with the grandparents showing up. Love learning more about the different ethnicities of the family through much more different ways (learning that the grandparents are from China and that they practice Tai Chi) - it really let the book expand in quite a different way than most stories with biracial protagonists.

Excellent! I read this to my daughters for bedtime. A sweet story about family and intergenerational relationships.
